On July 7, 2024, my friend Magnus and I embarked on a delightful tour of Riddarholmen and Gamla Stan in Stockholm. The photo captures us standing in front of the historic Riddarholmskyrkan, the iconic church that has witnessed centuries of Swedish history.
Riddarholmskyrkan, located on the island of Riddarholmen, is one of Stockholm's oldest buildings, with origins dating back to the 13th century. Originally part of a Franciscan monastery established around 1270, the church has served as the final resting place for Swedish monarchs. Notably, it houses the tombs of medieval kings such as Magnus Ladulås and Karl Knutsson Bonde. The church's architecture showcases a blend of medieval and renaissance styles, with its distinctive openwork spire added in the 19th century.
In the photograph, I'm wearing a bright blue wooly sweater from the Erdem & H&M collaboration, paired with red tartan pants from WESC. My outfit is completed with bright yellow socks from H&M, a yellow leopard print backpack, and white sneakers from H&M. Magnus complements the vibrant setting in grey shorts, a blue t-shirt featuring a Santa-on-skis print, sunglasses, and sneakers.
The backdrop of Riddarholmskyrkan not only adds historical significance to our photo but also showcases the architectural beauty of Stockholm's Old Town. The day's exploration allowed us to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Swedish culture, history, and the timeless charm of cobblestone streets and ancient buildings.
This image holds a special place in my heart as it encapsulates a day of friendship, adventure, and the joy of discovering the historical gems of Stockholm. It's a reminder of the simple pleasures of life—good company, stylish attire, and the allure of a city steeped in history.
